About this trial
In the sponsor's words
In total, 27 patients with MS (Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score equal to or less than 5.5) were randomly assigned to either Telko plus conventional physical therapy (CPT) experimental group (n=14) or the CPT control group (n=13). All patients received 15-minute CPT, three times a week, for four weeks. The patients in the experimental group received 15-minute Telko at the end of each CPT session. The outcome measures used were the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT), and Timed Up and Go (TUG) assessment.
